2. What is a Robot?
A robot is a machine that gathers information
about its environment (senses) and uses that
Information (thinks) to follow instructions and to
do work (acts).
We can also say that a robot is a
electromechanical
or biomechanical device or group of devices
that
can perform a repetitive or pre-programmed
tasks.

13. Robo Cup
Robots must cooperate in
Strategy acquisition
Real-time reasoning
Multi-agent
collaboration
Competition against
another team of robots
14. How do robots make
decisions?
Control is based on a set of behaviors
Each behavior has a set of preconditions that
either
◦ Must be satisfied
◦ Are desired
A behavior is selected when all of the “musts”
become true
A behavior is selected from several behaviors
based on how many desired conditions are true
15. Building a human-like robot
Reasons to do so:-
Our bodies are critical to the representations that
we use for internal thought and language
If a robot is looks like a human then it will be
natural for humans to interact with it in a human-
like way
To develop similar task constraints
